Our favorite day of the week, #TestPrepTuesday!

The plants’ challenge is to be quick enough to respond to rain so that they can produce their seeds before the earth dries up again, while not jumping the gun to start growth until there is sufficient water for them to grow to maturity for seed production.

Which of the following provides the best paraphrase?
F. Annual plants survive in deserts by making seeds swiftly when conditions are right.
G. Annual plants in deserts make seeds during dry conditions so the seeds will be ready when rain arrives.
H. Dry conditions require the seeds of desert plants to start germination prior to the arrival of rain.
J. The seeds of annual plants in deserts are designed to wait years for the right conditions for growth.

Celebrating this #TestPrepTuesday with a science question! 🔬 We'll share the correct answer later today.

Scientists studied the effects of pH and of nickel concentration on plant growth and on the uptake of iron and zinc by plants. Recently germinated seedlings of Species M and Species U were fed 1 of 12 nutrient solutions (Solutions 1−12) for 8 days and then were harvested. Solutions 1−12 differed only in pH and/or nickel concentration. Table 1 shows, for each species, the average dry mass of the plants that were fed each nutrient solution. Figure 1 shows, for each species, the average iron content and the average zinc content of the plants that were fed Solutions 1−4.

Should the underlined portion of the sentence be altered? Choose the answer that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole!

Frey’s porcupine quill lids are often decorated with art inlaid on birch bark; as far as lids go, I wouldn’t say that’s basic. And while braids of grass are customarily woven into ash baskets to make them better, Frey incorporates braided cedar bark to create striking new textures.

F. NO CHANGE
G. bark, which is not exactly formulating a lid through a conventional ideology.
H. bark; this is just part of his really artistic way.
J. bark.

Answer:
J. bark.

One last test prep question before the July ACT. You've got this! #ACTTest #ACTTestPrep

Part of Passage IV
Its two outer sepals generate sideways tension that can fling two seeds out of the fruit, but the two seeds are held inside by a lock mechanism at the top. However, when the sepals are sufficiently wetted, then the tension increases to such an extent that the lock mechanism snaps, and the capsule “explodes” and releases the seeds.

As it is used in line 26, the word extent most nearly means:
F. length.
G. degree.
H. reach.
J. boundary.

Answer G. degree.
